The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is one of the most significant cricket events watched by millions of people worldwide. And while we wait for the next World Cup to take place, we thought it would be a good idea to go through the list of the most successful ICC Men’s T20 World Cup teams. Who knows, after this, you might be able to predict the next World Cup winner.
West Indies are the reigning champions, and at the same time, the team with most titles — two. They won their first World Cup title in 2012 in a match against Sri Lanka, and the second one in 2016 when they beat England. Without a doubt, they are the ones to watch in the upcoming World Cup.
We can’t ignore the fact that Sri Lanka has participated three times in the final ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches and won once. However, one of the most exciting games played in this World Cup’s history was the first final held in 2007 between the biggest rivals — India and Pakistan. India came out on top after winning by five runs.
The last team we want to mention as the possible winner in the upcoming T20 World Cup is the Australian team. Even though they have never won this tournament, their team is a five-time Cricket World Cup champion. Additionally, Australia will be the host for the next ICC T20 World Cup, so they will have a great audience and increased motivation to win at home.
